A FATAL MISTAKE

THR Cleveland (Ohio) Press
of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fata'
surgical operation which caused
agreat connection among med,
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. II
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar INDISPENSABLE dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as q
faint call gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. AL prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosavet the patients
life an operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, Dr.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed IN laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin.
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
Of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have n cancer.
When too latetEe medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had liladc, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects ola
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
Nervous Prostitution flor.
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been lv.
ing today. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Rooms, OF SEIeEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi.
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class Of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor OF this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

the following interesting incident which
marked the visit Of he Emperor William
to the Essen Works: The Emperor dis
played great interest in the working OF
the steam hammer, aud Herr Krupr took
the opportunity of speaking IN high praise
OF the workman who had special charge
Of It. "Ackermaun has a sure eye, he
said. "apd can stop the falling hammer
at any moment. hand might be
placed on the anvil without fear, and he
woul stop the hammer within hairs
breadth of it," LET US try il, said the
Emprror, "hut not with human hand
try my watch. aud he laid 1t, splendid
specimen of work richly set with brll-
iiauts, on the anvil Down came the i'm
mrnse mass of steel, aud Ackermann,
with his hand on the lever, stopped it
just the sixth of an inch from the watch.
When he went to hand it back the Em
percr replied kindly, "No, Ackermann,
keep the watch ia memafy of an inter
est,ng moment" The workman, embar-
rassed, stood with cutstretched hand, uot
kaowing what to do. Krnpp came for
ward and took the watch, saying. ''Ill
keep it for you il you are afraid to take
it frem his Majesty" A few minutes
later they again passed the spot and
Krupp said, "Now you can take the EN-
peror's present from my hand.' and
handed Aekermaan the watch wrapped
up 10 a / 900 mark note.

The Hull Vapor Stove was the first gaso-

The Grand Meadow village school en-

day.
The school in District SO, Grand Mead

grove Friday afternoon.
Annual school meeting occurs on the
third Saturday Of July, this year, Satur-
day, July 16. Clerks must give at least
ten days notice IN three conspicuous
places.
It seems probable that there will be no
teachers associations until fall. It is
strange indeed that our teachers do not
feel greater interest in such meetings so
as to sustain them.
Prof H. E. Perrin formerly principal
OF the Brownsville school has just gradu.
ated with credit at the Mankate Normal

the Instructors in Mathematics in the

the loyalty of the book to total absti-
